Default Hi/Intro thread

Hello, I'm William, and I've been thinking of getting back into RC (A few years ago I did a bit of drifting in D1RC but due to a lack of money I never had a bit of kit that did what I wanted it to ).

Anyway, now I have a job and I would like to get into RC, and as I hail from Biggleswade, if I got into racing it'd probably be at your club (after an appropriate bit of bribery... I mean payment) as it's just down the road, I figured that you'd be the best people to ask about where I get back into it!

I'm probably looking at getting a truggy or buggy, for reference. Probably electric (though nitro is tempting as it is less expensive as an initial outlay, so I could buy one sooner)... but I haven't had anything to do with RC for ages now so I don't know where to begin! What would be a good easy to maintain, rugged (I am merely a beginner after all) car for me to start with to race at Stotfold? Doesn't have to be RTR but in that case I will need help with motors, ESC's and radio options (though at least good radios and powertrain parts can be used on other chassis as I upgrade, when RTR spec stuff is usually a bit ropey )

I've had a bit of experience running a nitro car but it was a bit cheap and nasty. My main reservation about nitro is the noise - if I could have a regular place to bash it without annoying people that live in the area then I would have no qualms about running nitro! (If nitro is allowed to race at Stotfold of course, didn't see any info about this on the site!)

Anyway, if you got through all that, thanks. Even more thanks if you have any help to offer!
